Bitcoin is once again trading at $66,500, having significantly dropped during the morning Asian session. Ethereum is also aiming to return to the $2,000 mark, having failed to hold above $2,150.

Recent news regarding US President Donald Trump's intentions towards Iran has caused significant upheaval in global financial markets. Statements about Washington's readiness to continue intensive bombings and refusal to seek a diplomatic settlement have triggered a sharp sell-off in risk assets. Investors, amid rising geopolitical tensions, rushed to protect their portfolios, favoring more conservative instruments.

This wave of selling has also affected the cryptocurrency market, which, being highly sensitive to broader-market sentiment, has seen substantial declines. Digital assets, widely perceived as highly risky, have come under pressure alongside traditional stocks and other speculative instruments. The correlation between cryptocurrencies and traditional risk assets has once again been vividly manifested, highlighting their interdependence in conditions of global uncertainty.

The decline followed a period of relative stability, during which Trump had recently stated that the war in the Middle East would end soon.

As for the intraday strategy in the cryptocurrency market, I will continue to act based on any significant pullbacks in Bitcoin and Ethereum, counting on the continued development of the bullish market in the long term, which has not disappeared.

Regarding short-term trading, the strategy and conditions are outlined below.
